Wonderful

The Delegate is a unique travel experience.
I would look at it a a crossover from an Airbnb and a hotel. Far more personal than a hotel, but more relational than an Airbnb.
It brings together the best of both.
Having fine dining on the premises was a plus.
The bar staff was the best.
Clean and easy to get around.
The staff were very welcoming at all times and where at the ready when we needed something. It is a unique hotel, but that is what made it fun for us. Only reason I am knocking it down to a 4 is that our heating/cooling system sprang a leak on the last night and was dripping on the floor. Notified staff right away in the AM and they indicated they would be fixing it. It was our departure day so I do not know if that happened.
Such a beautiful building. The room was huge! Very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of plugs and outlets for an army. The included make up mirror was a nice surprise for the Mrs.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Was recommended The Brown Barrel restaurant, a short walk down the street, and it was very good.
Parking could be an issue but we got a nice spot on the street outside, otherwise you might have a little walk.

The room and staff were great. The only thing that bothered us was the lack of water pressure in the shower.

The room was elegantly designed, clean & and comfortable. Dinner in the Cypress & Oak restaurant was delicious & the bartender knew how to make a great cocktail! We had a great experience!
Clean rooms, staff was great, one negative is they need to have at least one vending machine and one Ice machine, on the main floor. Front desk would get you ice, but really this is a Flaw. Other than that, the place is really cool!!!
Very kool .. hotel .. was very impressed with the workmanship on the renovation spared no expense… extremely clean and comfortable I paid $110.00 a night anywhere else this would be a minimum of $350-$500 a night there a great restaurant attached to it next door that you can get to from the hotel … I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone …. I never really wrote reviews but was really impressed by this hotel

Very accomodating and friendly staff. Staff went above and beyond to help me and my wife get settled after a 15 hour drive. We were moving across country and had a lot of stuff to get off the car. The gentlemen taking care of the front desk at 5 am was more than helpful to help us .my wife and i will be back for sure

Room was beautiful!! Everything was awesome, including the restaurant!!
Perfect location for exploring The Bourbon Trail. Beautiful building and amazing restaurant on site. Top notch staff that was very knowledgable about the area. They provided some great inside tips for the local distilleries.
